fatesdisastr Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Strangely the wooden fence between the McD's and the Astoria plot is back up today. I wonder if that means they plan on picking up the pace or bringing heavier equipment in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Skyline view thanks for the updates. When you realize that in about two years the Astoria, the Billiton, the Apache Tower,the Hanover and the Post Oak Gables will all be added to this part of Uptown and with the addition of the proposed highrise on post oak near the Ziegler Cooper Highrises in the north end of the area, the skyline will run continuous from Woodway to 59 without much of a gap. Thats pretty amazing. Cant wait to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky-guy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 What's taking so long with this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 What's taking so long with this? I'm assuming they are just having to drill all of the piers right now, similar to what happened at SkyHouse. That building really took a while to get off the ground because of the drilling they did prior to vertical construction. Might have to have someone like Purdue chime in though with more knowledge.

SkylineView Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 2013 12 11: I don't know anything about foundation construction, but I'm guessing someone screwed up and they had to rebuild the boring crane (which had been completely disassembled and removed from the site) to do a few more drills. Wah wah. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfish Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well the building went vertical today. There are several steel rebar columns about 14 feet or so in the air attached to the dug up 'rectangles' in the photo above. Driving too fast today to snap a pic, but if I get a red light tomorrow I'll upload a pic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
